Digg/Buzz It Up

J.D. Hayworth fancies himself a fiscal hawk, but in 2007 the former Arizona GOP congressman appeared in an infomercial encouraging Americans to apply for government grants that they wouldn’t have to pay back.

In the infomercial for the Florida-based National Grants Conferences, Hayworth tells viewers to “take advantage” of government funds that are “real” and “available.”

The infomercial, first highlighted by the Arizona Republic on Monday morning, starts with testimonials from people who received government grants and boast of “never” having had to pay the money back.

Hayworth, appearing later in the infomercial, is asked by an Australian female host if the “free money” is “too good to be true.”

“It is for real,” says Hayworth, who is currently challenging Sen. John McCain in Arizona’s Republican primary. “Now look, I understand the skepticism, in part because President Reagan used to say the greatest contradiction ever uttered was, 'I'm from the government, and I'm here to help.’”

“It's money you've already surrendered to the government in terms of taxation,” Hayworth added, “but the government has a chance, and you have chance, to make an investment in yourself and, in fact, improve not only your personal economic situation, but put people to work and really help rebuild the economy, on your block, in your neighborhood, happening on Main Street instead of Wall Street.”

The ad closes with the host, Kylie Jaye, telling viewers to “be careful what you work hard for, you’re just liable to get it.”

A Hayworth spokesman did not immediately return a request for comment.

So what? Obama picthes the same thing every day and has for his whole career as a "Community Organizer" and ACORN. The Democrats love fleecing you through the government hand outs. Why shouldn't others get on board the gravy train.

It's beginning to look as though John McCain did not have to remake himself into a right-wing ideological "crazie" and permanently grumpy old man in order to be re-elected. But he did and now will have to live the laughingstock he's become. His integrity in tatters, he will be forever viewed as the rather grotesque caricature he has made of himself. Were his retirement years in the Senate worth it? If so, his life and marriage must be otherwise bankrupt. It's a shame.

Well said! I guess McCain suffered from premature prostitution; however, only in Arizona would Hayworth even be considered a viable candidate for anything, much less a senate seat. The Republicans must really be proud to have these two clowns running against each other.

Another fine piece of work from the land where everybody seems to have been out in that ever glorious sunshine toooo... long! Please, all of you hard working and devoted Latino folks, get the hell out of that lunatic cesspool of a failed state before the mindless red-blooded, good christian, all- Amerikan patriots start really making you the scapegoats for their failures! Let the creators of their own diseased wasteland consume each other because given the chance they will take their hate out on you!

Too late. The dumb, stupid, ignorant redneck/cracker repukes are on their way.

The Phoenix New Times has a frightening article about a group of neo-Nazis in Arizona who are heavily arming themselves and going out to patrol the borders in that state. Wonderful idea. What could possibly go wrong?

As I blogged back in May, Ready and fellow neo-Nazi Harry Hughes have been going on illegal alien "patrols" in Pinal County's Vekol Valley, dressed in camouflage and armed with assault rifles.

Now Ready has announced a "Border Ops" alert for this Saturday via his profile on the white supremacist New Saxon site, inviting participants to "bring plenty of firearms and ammo."

"Camouflage or earth tone clothing [is] preferred," according to the announcement. "Bandanas, balaclavas, or other identity concealing items are permissible and encouraged."

It gets worse:

I called Ready to ask him if he had informed law enforcement about his operation, which he says will involve other NSM members and include an "incursion" into Mexico. He said his group has a law enforcement liaison flying in, but it didn't sound like he'd run any of this stunt past the local gendarmes.

"Our statement to law enforcement is to support us," said Ready. "With choppers...with SWAT teams and so forth. We're telling them to come down."

And it's entirely possible that they were already responsible for killing someone who had crossed the border.

As if the police don't have enough to worry about down there, now they have to be on the lookout for amateur weekend warriors with automatic weapons on the hunt for dark-skinned people. This can only end badly.

Please, all of you hard working and devoted Latino folks, get the hell out of that lunatic cesspool of a failed state before the mindless red-blooded, good christian, all- Amerikan patriots start really making you the scapegoats for their failures! Let the creators of their own diseased wasteland consume each other because given the chance they will take their hate out on you!

Teabaggers! Teabaggers! Mindless racists! OMG Teabaggers! Your name calling doesn't have any effect on anyone anymore. Nobody cares if you call them a racist anymore. The producers are angry about all the freeloaders. Call them whatever you want, it doesn't change a thing.

So what...it is money that the tax-payers have been forced to pay into...what exactly is the big deal here, seriously, you are talking about the fed.govt. who are the biggest crooks in this country.

So predictable.

When baggers want "free" government money, they says it's their money that they've paid for. If brown people/city dwellers/Democrats get benefits, it's "leaching" or "sucking the government's teat."

Red state baggers are the biggest sucklings of government cash in the country. Of course they want their "free" money for nothing, while out of the other side of their mouths say they're angry about government spending.

Hayworth won't admit it as he would be savaged by the MSM, but what he really meant was that this Grant money will NOT be voluntarily given to White people.

As a white, if you don't PUSH a request for the grants, they WILL be given to minorities. It's what the grants are for in the first place! Wealth Redistribution. And that term expresly means taking white folks wealth and giving to Blacks and Hispanics. Period!

Do the research and you'll find that:

1. Most of this money goes to poor Blacks and Illegal Aliens. A lot of poor white folk, but see how many get the grant monies compared to Minorities.

2. The officials that "grant" these payments are, now and have been, activists for minorities. Van Jones for instance. He has the control over Green Industry grants!

So if you are Black, come BACK for more, if you are BROWN, please come around, if you are white, say goodnight.

Same with the new Pell Grants, College Loans, risky mortgage bail outs, and other recent Fed giveaways.

And I marched for Equal Rights in the 60's. The key is EQUALITY for all, not just for Minorities. NOW we have affirmative Action, 6 votes each for Hispanic, and discrimination in the work place. If you are not a minority, or speak Spanish in America, you don't get a job.

Reverse Discrimination is NOT what I marched for, I should have just said no, and would have had more time to inhale, and got a lot fewer sunburns.
